Tracking and debunking misinformation, using a hyperlocal approach, identifying the most dangerous trending rumors, misinformation and hate speech, verifying the facts and debunking the rumors – the true facts are then relayed back to the community through radio, podcasts, and Listening Groups, closing the ‘community feedback loop’.Our Media Literacy initiatives help young men and women differentiate between credible news items and misinformation. Fact-checking and Verification training workshops give mainstream media and citizen journalists the tools to fight fake news and rumors.
